LED Gu10 Light Bulbs
In recent years, LED technology has advanced to such and extent it has now becoming a cost effective method for general lighting. As the cost of white LEDs have decreased and increased improvements in the light output, it has become feasible to construct household LED lightbulbs. Due to their long life which can allow a 5-10 year continuous use and low power consumption they are rapidly becoming a valid alternative to halogen or CFL bulbs.
Nevertheless, due to their inherent nature each LED has a narrow direct light spread compared to traditional bulbs, therefore it is necessary for the manufacturer of LED light bulbs to cluster a large number of them together to get a more even spread of light. For this reason, people tend to use them mainly for either mood lighting or in spotlight situations.
Gu10 LED light bulb
As mentioned earlier 240V or 110V LED Gu10 lightbulbs can be used instead of halogen bulbs as direct replacement for standard GU10 based bulbs. The LED Gu10 bulb allows for a substantial reduction in energy consumption, a 25 Watt halogen bulb can be replaced with a 2 Watt LED spot light bulb, the lower power consumption not only saves electricity but also it runs cooler than the halogen.
Differences between GU10 and GZ10
There are two common mains halogen lamp bases, the GZ10 and GU10.
The GZ10 lamps are designed for a lot of heat comes out of the back, and GU10s have reflectors to direct the heat forwards. It is possible to put a GU10 lamp in a GZ10 fitting, but not the other way around. This was designed to ensure the rear reflected heat would not damage the socket.

Great article! However, I have to disagree about some of the disadvantages you have mentioned in your article.
Disadvantages of Gu10 LED Light bulb
~ LED Lightbulbs can't be easily dimmed without extra electronics.
GS: The technology of having dimmable GU10 is already out; these lights can use any dimmable devices out there
~ LEDs are still not quite bright enough for general use.
GS: It depends on your requirements, most LED light users thinks the brightness is comparable with other lighting sources. The most important thing is they are saving at least 80% of their electric bills.
LED lights are great to our future and health. Please dont let a few unimportant disadvantages to discourage you and your family from healthier life and less dependent to foreign oil.
